Total weight gain: I don't weigh myself at home so I am not sure if I have gained more weight on top of the 4lbs I gained once I hit pre-pregnancy weight but I am sure I have.Maternity clothes? Still in my normal clothes with the occasional maternity shirt. I actually did wear a pair of maternity pants once this week because I didn't want to wear jeans and anything other than jeans or yoga pants don't fit.Stretch marks? nope :) And I'm thrilled!Sleep: Slept decently well at the beginning of the week but as the week went on, it kinda got worse.Best moment this week: Hmmm.... met up with a friend and fellow blogger for some shopping and lunch which was fun!Miss Anything? My hubby... does he count? lolMovement: Yep! Lots of movement and on Friday she was EXTREMELY active ALL day long!Food cravings: Sweet tooth has really calmed down now and my need to anything strawberry flavored has also calmed. So I really haven't had too many other cravings this week.Anything making you queasy or sick: not really and if I do feel queasy, not sure what is causing it.Gender: GIRL!!Labor Signs: NoBelly Button (in or out): Still in but slowly but surely making it's way out!Wedding Rings (on or off): OnSymptoms: Back pain. Had a horrible back ache after I went on a long walk with Oscar earlier in the week and my upper back is starting to bug me if I sit too long. No win! lolHappy or Moody most of the time: HappyLooking forward to: Travis coming home this week (YEAH!) and my next ultrasound on Mar. 6th.

I don't have a craft to share with you all today.I got chosen to be in the top 20 in the competition Amanda from Every Creative Endeavor is putting on, Creative Bloggers Got Talent, so I have been working on my next project for that but I thought I would share some pictures of the beautiful flowers Travis sent me for Valentine's Day.

If you have been a follower of A Glimpse Inside for a while now, you know that I LOVE to take pictures of flowers so of course I had to take pictures of these.

The irises and tulips perked up beautifully and then a few days later opened up HUGE!

This fabric will be used for the crib bumper (2 patterns- one on each side) and then for the crib skirt which will use all 3 patterns.I will then scatter the fabric here and there around the room in small doses.

And here is a shot of the fabric with the crib and my new wall art just for reference.

Last week was the largest Catch a Glimpse party yet!!Thanks so much to everyone that links up every week and for all the newbies out there!!I LOVE seeing all your fabulous ideas!

This week, I want to show off the board and batten treatment we did in the nursery.I love how it turned out and I can't wait to add more things to the nursery now.To see how we did the board and batten, check out my Nursery Progress post.

Right after we found out we were pregnant, I immediately knew I wanted to do board and batten on the walls of the nursery.
And I am so excited that it is complete!I think it looks so good and I can't wait until the room as a whole is complete.

There are many tutorials around blogland on board and batten and I looked at a few of them for inspiration and then we got started.
